Chapter 3: Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes And a Familiar Voice
Harry stood beside the fireplace with his trunk, owl, and school supplies. It was 8:58 AM and Harry felt as though he was going to burst. He wanted to see Ron, Hermione, the Order, and most of all Sirius. He was thinking of them when he heard Ginny's voice.
"Is it true Harry? Is it really? Is he really alive?" Ginny said.
"Yeah it is. But doesn't everyone already know over there at the Order?" Harry said.
"Yes, but I'm still to young to be a part in the meetings so I only hear what Ron and Hermione tell me. But I guess I just had to hear it from you. Oh my god I'm so happy!" Ginny said jumping up and down.
"Well, how about we make a move on and head over to the Burrow right now, shall we?"
"Ok, but take these," she said giving Harry Floo Powder and a small half of a piece of candy.
"What is this?" he said holding the half.
"It is a candy half that Fred and George made that if you take it, you will be able to withstand all their joke candies," she said.
"Thanks," he said.

Ron stood expectantly waiting for Harry. He was unaware how hard he was holding Hermione's hand until she made a small noise that sparked his memory. He never wanted to hurt her. I wish she would have told me that! But geez, I can't stay mad at her for long....She is so beautiful!
Hermione looked over and saw that her was staring at her. "Stop, Ron!" she said, grinning. "What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" she said moving her free hand to try and feel around.
"No, Hermione. Nothing is wrong with you. I was just thinking how beautiful you are," he said. She blushed and look back at the fireplace to see Harry.
###############
Harry walked out of the fireplace glad to be back. He looked over and saw Ron and Hermione holding hands. He looked around and realized that no one else was there. Wait! he thought. They were holding hands! Harry laughed at the sight. But Hermione had indeed grown since the last meeting. She was a lot prettier than then. She had begun to fix her hair up more, and her teeth were more straight. "Am I the only one here without a girlfriend?" Harry said laughing.
Right then Ron and Hermione's hands broke apart. Ron's ears turned red and Hermione blushed. "Um, hiya Harry." Ron said awkwardly.
"I was just joking guys! I don't care that you like each other! Ron's told me about it for years, Hermione!" he said. At that Hermione blushed even more. "I'm glad you are going out. Well, you are going out aren't you?"
"Yes, we are Harry. We just got together last week," Hermione answered.
"How are Fred and George doing with, you know," Harry said quietly to break the silence.
"They are doing great! They already got loads of galleons. I'm quite jealous actually. They had to tell Mum about it when they bought the land. So you don't have to shush it up anymore. I hope you ate that piece of candy Ginny gave you," Ron said seeing as Ginny just walked out of the chimney.
"Yeah, I did. It was pretty good, actually. It tasted like..Vanilla! Yeah that was the flavor."
"That was my idea," Fred said just walking in. "By the way, would you like to try a piece of candy?"
"You wouldn't give me one of your screwed up pieces of candy considering I was the one that funded it all, would you?" Harry said laughing.
"Oh, turns out we ran out. Sorry, mate." George said behind Fred. They all laughed at that.
"I hope you ate that cake and enjoyed it. You remember? The one I sent you?" Ron said.
"I did. It was really good. I'll have to tell you mom that," Harry said.
"There is no need, honey," Mrs Weasley said behind Harry. "I heard you. I thought it was good, myself."
"It is getting a little cramped in here don't you lot think?" Mr. Weasley said.
"When did you get in here?" Ron said.
"Just a second ago." At this they all made their way into the living room. They each chose separate chairs except for Ron and Hermione, who chose the sofa. They sat still, hand in hand.
"So how is the shop coming, Fred?" Harry said.
"Great. Mum gave us a little trouble though in the beginning. We have gotten quite a bit of money already. Plenty enough to pay for the rent and still have a profit."
"But the only thing on our minds, is the rent though." George continued.
"We are thinking about moving," Fred said.
"Moving? Why?" Harry said.
"We want to go to Hogsmeade. We thought that would give us a better income because it'll just be kids without their parents breathing down their necks," George said.
"We realize though that the parents won't be paying now. Sometimes they help. Sometimes they don't," Fred said.
"How is the Order coming along Mr. Weasley?" Harry said, now directing his attention towards their father.
"Well, not too good as a matter of fact. Because you are of age now I can't-," Mr. Weasley was cut off by the murmurs of glee from Harry, Hermione, and Ron. "-can't control what you do and hear. But He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has now gathered-,"
"Come on Arthur! You are a member of the Order of the Phoenix! And not all that bad of one either! Surely you can say VOLDEMORT's name now can't you?" Reamus Lupin had just walked in from the room next door. Everyone except for Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Lupin had flinched
"Professor Lupin!" Harry said.
"Hello, Harry."
"Anyway, V-Voldemort has gathered trolls, giants, dementors, and his all-faithful Death Eaters. They are going to attack. We don't know when and we don't know where," Arthur finished.
"How is Sirius? I know that he is alive. Have you guys seen him?" Harry said.
"Did somebody say my name? We are having a little family reunion in here and I was not invited?"
Everyone turned around as a familiar gruff voice filled the room. Harry heard Hermione and Mrs. Weasley gasp in surprise. Lupin just smiled as if nothing happened, and Ron and Mr. Weasley stared, mouths open in shock. Harry wanted to move, to walk over, actually run over, and hug his godfather, but he couldn't move.
